George, Charlotte and Louis’ idyllic half term plans – with sports, sun and play

Following an incredibly busy and thrilling few weeks, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are enjoying their half term break.

The Prince and Princess of Wales' three children all attend Lambrook School near their home in Windsor and will be packing in as much fun as possible before they head back to the classroom on Monday, June 5.

But what will the young royals be getting up to in their time off? Judging by their previous school breaks and revelations by the couple themselves, it seems the family of five will have some exciting plans.

While the public have seen the family several times in recent months, anything the couple have in mind for their children will surely be kept quiet thanks to Prince William and Catherine's dedication to protecting George, Charlotte and Louis' privacy.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has echoed this sentiment in an exclusive conversation with OK!

She explained: "William and Catherine really seem to have nailed a way to satisfy press and public interest in their family life and their children, whilst enjoying a fair bit of privacy.

"They’ve been very generous in providing pictures over the years of their children as they grow up and we are now seeing all three of them at some public engagements.

"In return, they are not plagued by paparazzi, in this country at least, and the mainstream press respect the boundaries."

Jennie continued: "As for what the three youngsters could be getting up to this half term, there are so many options.

"If they don't go abroad then it will probably be the usual mix of Norfolk and Windsor life, full of outdoor play, sport and various fun activities.

"William and Catherine have had a very busy time with the coronation and their new responsibilities as Prince and Princess of Wales, and probably feel they are due a bit of rest and relaxation … not that is generally much of an option with three young children!"

It is very likely that the Wales family will opt to spend large amounts of their time at Anmer Hall – their Norfolk home on the Sandringham Estate.

Another likely pastime for the royal trio would be mucking in with the chores. During a visit to a goat farm in Wales last year, The Princess of Wales let slip that Prince George had been responsible for moving animal feed on the estate during a previous half term break.

After Prince William pointed to a robot silage sweeper, Kate told the farmer: “That was George’s job at half term – moving feed.”

Another possibility is that they will take a short trip away, whether that is in the UK or abroad. One location that the family have returned to time and time again is Tresco Island in the Isles of Scilly.

The island is the only one of the five islands which is privately owned and is said to boast white sand, turquoise waters, rare birds and lush flora and fauna. It has even been dubbed the ‘Cornish Caribbean’.

During their last visit, fellow holidaymakers described what it was like seeing the royals. They said: "We hardly noticed at first as they seemed a normal family on holiday intent on keeping themselves to themselves."

When they are not out adventuring, it is highly likely that Kate will tap into her love of creative activities and do some baking with her three children.

The princess has often spoken about cooking with her children – something they got stuck into ahead of the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year.

In the sweet video shared to social media, they were pictured stirring cake mix and decorating cupcakes before they were served at a street party in Cardiff.
